Research conducted by John Hopkins found that low-income youth suffer significantly from a lack of enrichment over the
summertime.
Low-income youth typically end up in schools
with lower-quality teaching and fewer resources. These disadvantages contribute to our country’s pervasive
achievement gap for low-income children.
A family with two adults and two children is living in
poverty if its household income is less than $22,200. Approximately
20% of the Bay Area’s population, or 1.3 million people, are considered below this poverty threshold. In San
Francisco alone, 23%, or 184,000 out of 788,000 residents, live
below the line.
Educational success is critical
to economic success. Children growing up
without proper academic resources are not being given the opportunity
to break the cycle of poverty.

Message from the 68th President
Growing our Legacy of Community Giving
www.guardsmen.org
Thanks to the support and engagement from our incredible community of members, volunteers, participants, donors and sponsors, The Guardsmen continues to transform the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children in the greater Bay Area. Following the principles instituted by our founders in 1947, The Guardsmen furthers its mission by embracing and advancing the ideal of “giving back” to the community and helping the interests of those less fortunate. By blending this shared purpose and the camaraderie The Guardsmen membership establishes from working together as a cohesive team, we combine fun, fellowship and fundraising/philanthropy to maximize the impact we have on at-risk Bay Area youth.
Year after year, we send thousands of disadvantaged children to summer camps through our Campership Program and hundreds of disadvantaged children to schools supported by our Scholarship Program. We continue to work towards growing these Programs through our events, such as the Annual Christmas Tree Lot at the Fort Mason Center, Sports
Auction, Wine Auction, Presidio 10, Century Ride/Tour and through our development initiatives driven by the Strategic Fundraising Committee and our newly formed Individual Gifts Committee.
The Guardsmen enjoyed a banner year in 2012-2013 and maintained the organization’s crucial focus on fun, fellowship and fundraising/philanthropy. Along with our typical schedule of large fundraising events, we added new events, extended and improved The Guardsmen brand with both the launch of a new website (www.guardsmen.org) and The Guard Dog (our new Chief Morale Officer). We also brought thirty-one (31) outstanding new members into the group and mobilized our talents and resources to exceed expectations for the year.
This year, our goals are to continue growing our events and brand, expand our reach, and increase the financial support we receive in order to make a bigger impact on youth’s lives. In particular, we intend to grow the 365 Program, which provides a more comprehensive year-round
support approach for our at-risk youth beneficiaries.
We look forward to building upon the success of our programs with the help of our current generous community as well as new supporters who share our passion for providing essential opportunities for our disadvantaged Bay Area youth. By working together, positive transformative change is possible.
Sincerely,

The Guardsmen is a group of Bay Area men mobilizing their significant talents and resources to enhance and improve the lives of at-risk youth.
This all-volunteer organization, founded in 1947, provides access to high-quality educational and outdoor activities for inner-city youth. The opportunities created through The Guardsmen’s scholarship and campership
programs mean that every year youth who otherwise would not have a chance at success are given the opportunity to excel as productive members of society. Sometimes that support means giving children a chance to “just be kids,” by giving them their first experience to hike, bike, or play a game of softball in the great outdoors. Sometimes that support means the difference between attending a low-performing public school, and access to a higher-quality private education and the life-changing course such an opportunity creates.

Our BeginningIn 1947 a group of young San Francisco professionals, who were to become known as The Guardsmen, joined together to help disadvantaged children in the Bay Area. These young men recognized that they were among the most fortunate members of society, who had good careers, loving families, and many opportunities – past, present, and future. They decided they had a responsibility to “give back” in the interest of individual children, and society at large.
They were concerned that although at-risk youth were provided basic necessities and help by existing civic and community agencies, many children
had no opportunity to experience life outside the confines of an often harsh inner-city environment.
Beyond this desire to give back, these founding members of The Guardsmen also enjoyed the camaraderie that came from working together. The Guardsmen recognized that they could combine fun, fellowship and fundraising/philanthropy. To this end, The Guardsmen began sponsoring fundraising events—dinners, raffles, a Christmas Tree lot—in order to raise money for local children’s charities and programs. Membership in The Guardsmen was established entirely through word-of-mouth, and the organization quickly became a network of talented young individuals committed
Guardsmen History
to building stronger communities. Over time, national, state, and civic leaders began to formally recognize The Guardsmen’s efforts and their vision and impact in providing enhanced opportunities for youth.
Our ProgrammingThe Crystal Plunge Swimming Team was one of the first recipients of support, when The Guardsmen helped them travel to Chicago to compete in the AAU championships. Several of the team’s members went on to win gold medals at the 1948 Olympics. Building on that impact, the organization’s first efforts revolved around the importance of athletics and outdoor activities. Early Guardsmen members recognized that disadvantaged children benefited from a mentor relationship—particularly if it was cultivated in a setting conducive to developing friendships— the “great outdoors.” Thus, the organization began a program that thrives today—to send at-risk, disadvantaged youth to summer camp.
During a strategic review on the 50th anniversary of the organization in 1998,
The Guardsmen identified a need for improved educational choices for at-risk youth—many of whom were lost in an unresponsive and dysfunctional educational system that only reinforced cycles of poverty and violence. To address this need, The Guardsmen Scholarship Program was created to provide partial private-school tuition scholarships for at-risk children, in order to give them access to the high-quality resources and personalized attention that have proven again and again to help disadvantaged youth succeed.
The Guardsmen also recognize the need for flexible, high-impact support of youth programs that might otherwise be compromised. For example, when the Salvation Army’s Tenderloin Community Center in San Francisco was under construction in 2007 and their crucial after-school programs were at risk, The Guardsmen stepped in to help fund a temporary space. More recently, when Seven Tepee’s lost its access to Hidden Villa’s summer retreat for their older teens, The Guardsmen funded a four-day outdoor retreat that filled the unexpected and potentially disappointing void. With more than 60
years of service to Bay Area youth, and more than 60 years of friendship and camaraderie as an all-volunteer organization, The Guardsmen will continue to build on its heritage, ever-mindful of the changing and expanding needs of at-risk youth, and their importance to our future.
Our FundraisingThe Guardsmen has a long history as a successful fundraising organization. Originally best known for the annual Christmas Tree Lot at Fort Mason Center, the largest indoor tree lot in the West, The Guardsmen now hosts dozens of other successful fundraisers that reflect the variety of activities and interests in the Bay Area. Events include the Big Game Lunch, the Sports Auction, the Presidio 10K Run, The Guardsmen Tour, and the San Francisco Wine Auction.
In addition to events, The Guardsmen raises funds for programs through donations and planned gifts from foundations and individuals, matching gifts from corporations, and corporate sponsorships.
“The Guardsmen is one of the largest supporters of outdoor; experiential education for underserved youth in the Bay Area. This support has allowed us to grow our programs by at least 30 percent annually for the past four years.” -Mark Godley, Big City Mountaineers

Campership Overview
The Camp Experience
Environmental education, stewardship and conservation are key components to the camp experience and are achieved through activities including: camper-run organic gardens, animal care, plant-life education and preservation, trail revitalization, recycling and composting education, outdoor skills training and more. In addition, youth are immersed in confidence-building and team-building activities such as hiking, archery, drama, arts/crafts, rock climbing, swimming and campfire programs.
The Campers
Children who participate in The Guardsmen Campership Program are ages six to 17, and come from families that meet the income eligibility guidelines for the Federal Government’s Reduced Price School Lunch Program.
About
The Guardsmen Campership Program has been the cornerstone of the organization’s charitable contributions since 1947. The camp experience has evolved from a traditional residential camping program into a life-changing outdoor experience, with lessons in environmental stewardship, leadership, personal growth and community involvement. The Guardsmen values the opportunity for at-risk youth to “just be kids” at camp, and recognizes that the chance to connect with nature and the outdoors can have a tremendous impact on young lives. According to a study by the American Institutes for Research, at-risk youth who attended outdoor education programs saw great improvement in leadership and interpersonal skills and experienced higher levels of self-confidence.
Camp is a time of transformation for these youth
Guardsmen campership recipients are from disadvantaged, low-income backgrounds. Many have witnessed or experienced violence and drug and alcohol abuse in their neighborhoods, schools, family homes or group homes. Camp is a time of transformation for these youth, and inspires many of them to become leaders in their communities.

Campership Recipient: Derick’s StoryLiving in public housing in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco, Derick’s single mom struggled to raise three children while living on welfare. Poverty, crime and drugs were familiar scenes for Derick and his two brothers, one of whom is his fraternal twin. The Ernest Ingold Clubhouse run by the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco was Derick’s escape from gangs and violence. He thrived in the safe and social environment where he could play sports, hang out with friends and relax as a kid. The Clubhouse’s adult mentors convinced him at age nine to apply for Boys & Girls Clubs’ Camp Mendocino’s 10-day overnight camp, an experience that was only possible through The Guardsmen’s Campership support.
Camp Mendocino was the first time Derick had been away from home or experienced the outdoors beyond a trash-ridden city park. “Camp opened up everything for me. Suddenly my world didn’t seem small or narrow. I would go swimming in the Noyo River, ride horses in the Redwoods and make new friends. I would have never had those experiences at home, and I could have never gone to camp without the help from The Guardsmen,” says Derick.
Camp also brought out Derick’s natural leadership abilities, which he first discovered on an overnight camping trip. “The counselors handed me the map and asked me to lead the group of 20 campers. They encouraged me to take initiative and I succeeded,” Derick says.
Derick attended Camp Mendocino until he was 14, and stayed active in the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco. He eventually worked as a Boys & Girls Clubs staff member, planning sports games, tutoring for homework and becoming a natural role model for the children.
To advance his career, Derick knew he would have to continue his education. Although he had barely graduated from high school, Derick approached his two-year degree at City College of San Francisco with newfound maturity and determination. He surprised everyone, including himself, when he gradated as the valedictorian of his class and earned acceptance to UC Berkeley. With boundless energy and optimism, Derick now balances his coursework in law and social policy with an overflowing list of extracurricular activities that includes an internship in the San Francisco office of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a counseling position with the San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department.
By working with at-risk youth in the Juvenile Probation Department, Derick is leading by his own example. “Kids come in with crime and drug charges, and I tell them my life story. I tell them about where I’m from and the choices I’ve made. I’m talking it and doing it,” Derick says.
Despite his packed schedule, Derick is intently focused on his future. His goal is to earn a graduate degree in either business or law, gain corporate work experience and then apply it towards establishing his own organization to help urban youth in need. “It’s important for me to be a leader for other kids who are growing up in neighborhoods like the one I grew up in. For me, being a leader all started at the Boys & Girls Clubs and at Camp Mendocino.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco is one of the first five campership organizations to which The Guardsmen provided funding starting after its founding in 1947. Throughout its over 120-year history, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco has provided hope and opportunity to our city’s most under resourced youth. Founded in 1891, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco has nine (9) Clubhouses in the city’s most challenged neighborhoods, plus Camp Mendocino—a residential summer Camp in Mendocino County. Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco currently serves more than 16,700 total youth per year.
The Guardsmen’s relationship with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco spans over 65 years and stems from our support of Camp Mendocino, a 2,000-acre camp in the redwoods of Mendocino County. Each year, The Guardsmen sends hundreds of youth from challenging neighborhoods to summer camp at Camp Mendocino. For many campership recipients, camp is their first experience outside of San Francisco and in the wilderness, and The Guardsmen sponsorship is often the only way they can financially afford to attend camp. Through this support, The Guardsmen give children the chance to escape the city and “go to camp.” After attending camp, youth show dramatic improvement in leadership, communication skills, and self-confidence. They form lasting bonds with both their peers and mentors. Together, The Guardsmen & Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco believe campers bring their new outlook back with them – to their families, to their daily decisions, and to their approach to academics.
In addition to financial support provided to the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, The Guardsmen members volunteer at Camp Mendocino for a weekend in May to help make repairs to camp and ensure that it is in optimum shape for the children’s summer experience.

School Profile: De Marillac AcademyLocated in the Tenderloin, De Marillac Academy provides a tuition-free education that focuses on academic excellence through small class sizes and a values-based environment. De Marillac offers a private school education to low-income students from all faiths and cultural backgrounds in the Tenderloin and other inner-city neighborhoods.
The Tenderloin, one of San Francisco’s poorest and most violent neighborhoods, is infamous for its prostitution, drug trade, and chronic homelessness; however the neighborhood is also home to approximately 2,600 children. Most of these children are invisible due to the dangers of the neighborhood and lack of safe public spaces. Over 28% of Tenderloin families with children under the age of 18 live below the poverty line. The Academy focuses on students considered “at-risk” because of social, academic, economic, and/or family circumstances. The Academy utilizes many innovative strategies for the educational and social benefit of our students, including an extended nine hour school day.
School Stats:
• 89% of the Class of 2008 are enrolled in higher education institutions
• 90% of all alumni earned or are pursuing high school diplomas
• 95% of the Class of 2012 have been accepted to private college preparatory high schools
“De Marillac Academy is one of the schools we’d like to foster a close relationship with. The Guardsmen are providing funds for 12 students at this school in 2013-14.”
The Guardsmen Scholarship Program Committee Chairmen
In 2013-14 De Marillac Academy will serve 120 4th - 8th grade students, 183 alumni, and 200 families in the school and their unique wrap around clinical and family support program.

In 2012, The Guardsmen Campership Program received a generous grant from the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation. The donation allowed The Guardsmen to provide hundreds of more at-risk youth with an opportunity to gain confidence and leadership skills through our camp partners.
The S.D Bechtel, Jr. Foundation is dedicated to advancing a productive, vibrant, and sustainable California. The Foundation’s Education Program, of which our program was funded, focuses on California’s young people, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, and character to participate fully as informed citizens, explore and understand the world around them, and act responsibly for the environment.
